About 7 months ago I went to Cape Town for the first time, for the World Cup, then returned again for a couple of days long after the World Cup had finished. I fell in love with the city, hard. I did several tours of it, official and unofficial, wandered its streets, visited its museums, drank from its waters, basked in its sun, ate its food, ogled at its beauty, danced in their clubs and visited its townships, which are still miles ahead of our local 'musseques'. Several months after that I wrote an article for my favorite independent travel website, Matador Network, and it was finally published last week. You can read it in its entirety here.

About Caipirinha Lounge

“Without music, life would be an error.” Friedrich Nietzsche

Caipirinha Lounge is all about music in Portuguese or by Lusophone artists. It's born out of a sincere belief that Lusophone music should reach a much larger audience. The lounge features music from Brazil, Angola, Portugal, Guine-Bissau, Cabo Verde, São Tomé & Principe, Mozambique, Galicia, and even Timor-Leste. Occasionally, there will be posts about singers so good that the fact that they do not sing in Portuguese is momentarily overlooked.

The purpose of this bilingual blog is purely educational. Plug in your earphones and hear rhythms from places you have never heard of, from artists you have never heard about, sung in the world's most beautiful language. If you like a song, you can download it by right clicking on it and then clicking "save target as". If you like it a lot, buy the cd, support the artist, keep good music alive.

If you are a singer or a label and want a particular song taken down, please contact me. Or, if you have music you think I will enjoy, do send! claudio.silva(at)caipirinhalounge.com
